The weekly email from Carter.
Yep.
Well I hope
everything is going good in the world back home! I know it was super bowl Sunday!
Weird..... Literally a year ago it was also super bowl Sunday and I was
training
Elder Willard! Time seems to be flying by. Well it was a
good week here in Longwood, and also Lake Mary! We had some good
success and saw some pretty cool miracles! Also this coming Tuesday is
Transfers! Wahoooo! Pretty nuts. They are changing the way they do
transfers so I now know who my new comp is. His name is Elder Thornock! I'm
training him to be a new zone Leader! Second time I've done that!
Wahooo! So I'm excited for this next week!
So to start this
week was full of finding. After baptizing all of our investigators we had to
start finding some more solid ones. Well it happened this week. We
found a young man named Patrick! We were going to visit a guy who
just had moved in and was less active. As we got there he had his
friend Patrick with him, and his friend Patrick has been looking
for a church for a while now. We were able to teach this guy about the Book
of Mormon and the prophet Joseph Smith! It was a miracle because we
were looking for some more people to teach! Also we were able to
continue
teaching Sunny! The guy who just walked into church the last
week! We actually set him a baptismal date! Which is pretty cool!
It's in March, we are planning on setting another baptismal date
this week as well! So if y'all could pray that it goes well! That's be greatttt.....
Another cool thing that happened this week was we had MLC. On Thursday we headed on over to
Windermere, and we ready to turn up! MLC is a good time, we get to see all
of our
bros. I got to talk with Elder Johnson, Doman, Chidester,
Egan, Pututau, Ashworth, and Lamgston, and president. Really is
just a great time. But it was pretty intense this time around. We had a
pretty
heated discussion on one of the topics. It was wild. Fun to participate in though! It's such a cool experience to be a
leader in the Florida Orlando mission. I get to help decide on what
the mission
needs right now, and what they need to be trained on. Quite
the humbling experience. Afterwards is always a classy lunch
that had some salad, and pizza.... #Healthy. So this week on Thursday
we have
Zone Training Meeting. There I'll be giving training to my
zone on what we need to do!
A cool little fun fact, my zone
this last month lead the mission in baptisms. The best part about it
is we are also the smallest zone. #ComeBackCity We did some good work
here, this
month is not as looking as fruitful, but hopefully March is.
So that's Gucci.
So funny story of the week I guess! So my hair is getting kinda long, and a tad bit nappy. So on the
day of MLC I thought well I'll try a new hair style.... I just took my
hair gel and just went hard in the paint. Well I liked what I saw
and I thought It was kinda funny. It wasn't undignified or
anything just a little different then what I normally do. So I walk into
MLC, and my good friend Elder Ashworth starts just cracking up! Haha He
thought it was just freaking funny, like the rest of my bros at the
MLC. I mean they said it looked good, not sure if they meant it or not.
But I'll take it. I'll be sure to include in this email a picture of
what it looked like! Haha
Well that was my week in a nutshell. Honestly nothing super crazy to report to you all this
morning. I'm grateful for the chance I have to once again train a new
zone leader! I'm pretty happy about it. Please pray for me this week, as
we head into a crazy week packed full with random stuff!! We have a
ZTM, and also that same night we are having a meeting with all of the
leadership in
the stake, and president Berry, in which we will be
presenting how our zone has been performing the past couple of weeks. I'm excited
but it'll all be on me with a new zone leader! It's crazy to
think how
much I've changed. Yesterday was the super bowl, yet I
honestly wasn't that sad I missed it. One of my favorite quotes comes to
mind. Not sure who said it but it's dope "Let us here resolve
that a religion that does not require the sacrifice of all things, does not
have the power sufficient to produce the faith necessary unto eternal
life and salvation." Now we don't really need to sacrifice all
things, but the point it makes sticks with me. I love this gospel, and I
love the Lord. I also love being a missionary! They say if your
willing to die for something it shows loyalty. That's easy though! God
doesn't want people who are willing to die for it! He wants people who
are willing to live for it, cause that's the true test. This is my
conviction! I will be praying for you all this week! I hope you have a
great week! Loves!
Love, Elder Carter Crismon.
